Why Reading is the Closest Thing to Time Travel
We all know we should read. We all instinctively know that reading is somehow good for us. We know that reading provides us with knowledge and that the pen and book are absolutely fundamental to our growth and development.
Despite this general consensus within society, and even among the most avid Tom Bilyeu and Ryan Holiday fans, I would be a wealthy man indeed if I charged a dollar (or a pound, or a euro) every time I heard the phrase "But I don't have time to read" or "if I had time to read" or "when I retire/go on holiday I will read but I can't right now, I don't have time."
The problem with these types of responses is that not only are they terrible excuses, but they are also among the greatest lies that remain on our lips, ones we re-tell again and again without ever breaking a sweat. Simply put, not having time to read is a sure fire way to remain unproductive, unfulfilled and unhappy.
Perhaps, you- my dearest QUAKE Books Agents- think I am exaggerating. But I can assure you that I am not. I will let you in on a little known secret, one that will change your life, the way your view your personally-held beliefs, your family and your job.
Reading is a time machine
It really is. It takes you back in time, to another place different to your own, compresses your timeline and gives you it back further down the line. Dr Who isn't the only with the Tardis… and everyone wants to be a Time Lord (or own a delorean) right?
Before you switch internet tabs or google something else, think about it. What must be learned and experienced in a lifetime of say 60 years, or more, can be written down in a year or two and read in a week. If you really want what you read to be integrated into your mindset and day-to-day activities, most of the effort will take between 30 days and six months. The jury is still out on the exact number of months needed but even with the most conservative of estimates that is still a saving of 59 years.
How productive is that? And that is just one book. Imagine the possibilities if you read one book a month…
Told you, reading is a time machine.
Communicating more precisely
Continuously spending time with a book will help you communicate more precisely with your spouse, children, parents and colleagues. By expanding your vocabulary, you can express meanings that will help you become more effective at home and at work. Deep reading will help you exercise discipline over distractions that fritter away your attention. It will enable you to process your thoughts and actions better, given that neurons that fire together, wire together. It will make you more productive and more successful. If you don't believe me just ask Richard Branson or Bill Gates.
Getting the answers you need
Reading helps you scratch your own itch. Instead of asking the same questions over and over and getting the same answers from the same people, you can grab a book (physical, e-book or even audio) written by someone who has trodden the path before you, who has experienced what you are going through and come out of the other side…
Save time, make more
Reading the right book represents massive gains in time-saving and productivity, not to mention ease. Life is not meant to be hard, so why make it harder on yourself when it could be so simple. Why go through the brambles if someone has cut a path? In addition, the ability to build on the foundations laid by someone else can provide a sense of vigour, purpose and vision.
So now you know why you should you read but what should you read? Well here at QUAKE Books HQ we make that choice easier with book reviews in our various categories, ranging from biographies, to blogs and social networks and onto neuroscience! Don't forget you can always ask me via email or Twitter, if you are looking for something specific! So join up to our Agent Brief newsletter as the first step into my time machine, there is more around the corner but you will just have to wait!

A good case made for subscribing to quake books…. as you know I love reading and as busy as I am I still find time to read. Knowledge is indeed power and it certainly helps to scratch that itch.
Think it a little harsh to suggest that those saying they don't have time are lying. Actually they don't have time because they have chosen to have other priorities. They might also be very productive, fulfilled and happy pursuing these priorities.
Furthermore I know some people don't enjoy reading, prefer to access other mediums for their knowledge. We can't all have our noses in a book!!!
The challenge for quake books is to identify those people who love to read but are looking for a shortcut to help them select their next read 🙂
Kai is right on the money with in arguing for reading's ability to increase an individual's subjective time. His comments on being able to save many years by reading a book resonated strongly with me, as I've experienced this firsthand by reading various non-fiction works of some of the people who I find the most inspirational. Learning about their trials, tribulations, epiphanies, and lessons has helped me to craft a mental framework that uses these tidbits of wisdom on a daily basis, saving me eons on time that I may have otherwise spent in discovering these truths myself.
Indeed books are the best reservoirs of history with all the complexities that men experience . Reading is the best instrument for going through the history , as far as one cares and is able . Those who read , reflect and act out are bound to be the best and in the lead of unfolding infinite history .
Thanks to Kai who has offered a medium for pooling the books that quake , to save time against just reading – for there are more books that do not educate .

Review Summary
The good: very close and comfortable shaves, fast shaving times, powerful motor, quality cutting block, slick and sturdy design, suitable for dry and wet shaving, quiet, inexpensive cleaning cartridges
The bad: can be a bit aggressive to very sensitive skin, can't be used while charging, bulky shaving head, the station takes a lot of space
The Panasonic ES-LA93-K 4-Blade Wet/Dry shaver with the Vortex Cleaning System has been around for some time and it gained a reputation for being a highly capable electric shaver.
Moreover, its price has dropped significantly in the last few years and now offers excellent value for money.
It comes packed with features and technologies that will supposedly give you one of closest shaves of any electric shaver.
Let's find out if that's really the case as we take a closer look at it in our Panasonic ES-LA93-k review.

Features overview
Going over the list of features it's likely that you'll be impressed. Even though some of them are common to other Panasonic shavers (like the 30 degrees nano blades), it does have quite a few that where first introduced with this model.
Here are the most important ones:
Multi-Flex Pivoting Head
Basically this is Panasonic's cool sounding name for a shaving head that can pivot in four directions: back and forth and left to right.
This will improve the way it follows the contours of your face, especially in tricky areas like the chin and jaw line.
You also have the option of locking the head in place with a switch located on the back of the shaving head. This is very useful for situations where you need more precision, for example when shaving the upper lip area.
Previous and less expensive models had a mechanism that only allowed a left to right swivel of the shaving head.
Multi-fit Arc Foils
This razor has a 4 blade shaving system with an arched profile (hence the ARC 4 name) and all 4 blades can move independently. There are two main foils (the outer ones), one slit foil for cutting long hairs and one extra thin finishing foil.
The blades and foils are made of hypo-allergenic stainless steel to minimize irritation.
14 000 CPM motor
Even though the previous models had pretty impressive motors with 13,000 RPM, this one goes one step further.
It is one of the most powerful motors you can find on any shaver and this really gives it the extra edge when it comes to fast shaving times and cutting coarse hair. More on that in the performance section of the review.
Vibrating motor
The ES-LA93-K has a second motor located in the shaving head with the sole purpose of producing vibrations of the outer foil (similar to Braun's Pulsonic technology).
This lifts the hairs that lie flat on the surface of the skin, making it easier for the blades to cut them. It also reduces the amount of pressure needed when shaving, causing less irritation and razor burn.
Automatic Cleaning and Charging System
The Vortex Cleaning System that comes with the shaver acts as an all-in-one cleaning and charging dock. It is the standard soap, alcohol free, water-based cleaning solution that Panasonic uses and in my opinion it works very well and with minimal costs.
Other features worth mentioning are:
- quick charge option
- LCD display with 10 stage battery indicator
- lock button that prevents accidentally turning on the shaver
- pop-up trimmer
- wet/dry shaving, fully washable
Build quality and ergonomics
Right out of the box, this shaver really stands out with its piano black glossy look. The fit and finish are very nice and the blue backlight of the LCD display adds to the classy and quality feel.
Holding the shaver in hand feels natural and comfortable and has a nice, reassuring weight that is very pleasant. The ES-LA93-K surely got the looks and it stands out compared for example to the understated, even boring design of a Braun Series 7.
The shaving head is quite massive with the 4 cutting elements, but once you get used to its size you'll have no issues shaving with it.
Battery life and charging
With a fully charged battery the ES-LA9-K should last for 45 minutes of use. Charging it takes approximately 60 minutes.
This shaver has a Li-Ion battery that can't be overcharged so it's safe to leave it in the cleaning station even after it is fully charged. Doing so will make the bright blue display blink constantly, which can be annoying in a dark room.
You also get a charging cord so you can plug it directly into a power outlet. This is a great solution for traveling as you don't have to carry the cleaning & charging station with you.
However, you cannot use the shaver while it is charging. This is a common safety precaution with all wet/dry electric shavers.
The ES-LA9-K has an Automatic Voltage Convertor, so you can charge it anywhere in the world.
The LED display has a 10 stage battery indicator and will also show you how long the shaving took, the charging status and when it's time to clean it.
Cleaning and maintenance
You basically have two options for cleaning this shaver:
Manual cleaning
As it's the case with all the foil shavers that are fully washable, you can clean it under running tap water. For this shaver, you need to apply some liquid hand soap and water on the outer foil and then activate the cleaning mode.
The ES-LA93-K has a Sonic Vibrating Cleaning Mode that can be enabled by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for two seconds. Once it enters this mode you'll notice a higher pitched sound of the motor and a special indicator on the LCD display.
After 20 seconds it will automatically turn off. After that you simply remove the outer foil and rinse it under running water while enabling the turbo mode again.
Shake off the excess water and the shaving head and shaver air dry before storing it in a cabinet.
Panasonic shavers are usually very easy to clean manually and that's the case with the ES-LA93-S as well. If for some reason you don't want to use the station cleaning it manually is a breeze and takes very little of your time.
Automatic cleaning with the Vortex Cleaning System
Cleaning it with the station is dead easy: you fill up the water container and insert a cleaning cartridge in the station. After that you simply put the shaver in place and select one of the two available options: cleaning or drying the shaver. This will also automatically charge it.
The water in the container needs to be changed only when you replace the cartridge with a new one.
The costs of using the cleaning station are very low. The cartridges are inexpensive, particularly when compared to Braun's cleaning cartridges that also need to be replaced more often.
Panasonic Vortex Hydra Cleaning Cartridge
The station works really well and cleans the shaver thoroughly of any hair clippings and dirt. The solution also lubricates the blades so you won't have to do it yourself.
The cleaning cycle takes around 10 minutes. During this time the shaver is turned on and the cleaning fluid is flushed repeatedly through the shaving head.
Once the cleaning is done, the drying takes between one and 3 hours and is carried out by a fan. It's not the quietest out there, but it's not too bad.
A single cartridge will last for at least 30 cleanings, so if you shave once every two days a pack of 3 should be enough for 6 months. In practice you'll replace a cartridge every two to three months.
As for the downsides, the station is bulky and will take a lot of room on your countertop. Some users have also reported leaking of the cleaning fluid.
Overall, it is a convenient cleaning station that works quite well, but as I said previously, it's not absolutely necessary as the shaver is dead easy to clean manually. So in case you want to save some money you can opt for the ES-LA63-S variation that doesn't include a cleaning base.
Shaving performance
So far this shaver managed to impress with its looks and feature list, but it all comes down to how good it performs.
I'm pleased to say that it meets all the expectations, providing an overall great shaving experience: smooth, comfortable, very close and very fast.
You won't suffer from any pulling or tugging mainly thanks to its very powerful motor and sharp blades. In my opinion Panasonic is among the best in this regard.
Also, it seems to require less pressure than other shavers in order to get a close shave. And that is always a good thing, as irritation and razor burn are often caused by excessive pressure and multiple passes.
Of course, there can be situations where you'll need to insist more on difficult areas (like the neck), but that's the case with all electric shavers when dealing with wiry, flat lying hairs.
Using it for both dry and wet shaving will get you great results, so it's only a matter of personal preference and time constraints.
And speaking of that, you'll be pleased to know that the time needed for a complete shave is shorter compared to other razors from the competition, like the Braun Series 7.
After that you can just put it in the cleaning station and you're all set.
As a conclusion I guess it's safe to say that it shaves as good as it looks.
Included accessories
Inside the box you'll find the actual shaver and the following goodies:
- protective cap
- traveling case
- electrical cord
- charging and cleaning station
- 1 x Cleaning cartridge
Replacement parts availability
Panasonic recommends changing the foil and inner blades once a year, but many users have found that they can last even longer. It also depends on how often you use the shaver and coarse is your beard. You can buy them separate or as a combo.
Wrapup. Who should buy it?
This is without a doubt one of the better shavers out there for the money. There is little not to like about it. I guess I can say that using the Cleaning Station takes some time and it may seem noisy to some.
And that the blinking of the LED display may be annoying. But these are minor drawbacks compared to the benefits of a close and comfortable shave.
Also, if you have very sensitive skin, suffer from razor bumps or ingrown hairs, a Braun Series 5 or 7 may be a better choice, especially if you plan to shave dry.
The Panasonic ES-LA93-K would make a great choice for men with high expectations from an electric shaver, especially with regards to closeness.
It works great for coarse and fine hair or for shaving your head.
Finally, if you need fast and close shaves this one will get the job done without any problems. This pretty much wraps our review of the Panasonic ES-LA93-K.
Let's check out some alternatives.
Price. Alternative shavers
Even though the initial price was very high, you can now find the ES-LA93-K for even half that price. Given the fact that you do get a great shaver, I'd say that this is pretty good value for money.
An obvious choice for an alternative shaver is the Panasonic ES-LA63-S. It's bascially an identical product, but without the cleaning and charging station. And it's only available in silver.
Panasonic ES-LA63-S
So for anyone looking for the same shaving experience but doesn't need the cleaning station this is a great alternative. And it costs less, so you'll also be saving some money.
Finally, the Braun Series 7 is a good alternative for men with very sensitive skin. Because it shaves very close, the ES-LA93-K can be a bit too aggressive for some.
Braun Series 7 797cc
A Braun Series 7 is more gentle to the skin and more comfortable out of the box.

Department of Labor audits of employee benefit plans are on the rise and experts agree benefit advisers should be preparing their employer clients now for that impending knock on the door.
The Affordable Care Acts reporting requirements have brought increased scrutiny of employer-sponsored health care plans and the government is largely expected to respond to anomalies or red flags with an employer audit. But industry experts agree the government wont limit its inquiries to ACA-related information only, and employers should be prepared for full-blown audits of health care plans.
The opportunity for a DOL audit has greatly increased with the focus on compliance with the ACA; and when they come looking they will not look for just one thing, says Mark Lam, vice president of employee benefits compliance for Schaumburg, Ill.-based insurance brokerage Assurance. Theyre going to look at everything. So whatever it is that kicks off the audit, it opens the door to review the entire plan.
See related: 10 scary mistakes that could trigger a 401(k) plan audit
Many employers, he adds, are not prepared for a DOL audit, which is why he recommends they work with their advisers and legal counsel to conduct a mock audit to ensure, amongst other things, that all documents related to the plan are up-to-date and compliant.
Erin Turley, a partner in the benefits, ESOPs and executive compensation group of law firm K&L Gates, agrees, adding, We recommend self-audit every few years to ensure both documentary and operational compliance.
The self-audit, she says, can be solely internal or can be completed by ERISA counsel for the employer to identify areas of potential exposure and/or non-compliance.
It also provides a good outline of the compliance areas where the employer should be focused, she adds.
The DOL has the authority to audit for compliance with several laws, including the ACA, HIPAA and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, says Turley. They also have the authority to audit for minimum loss ratio rebates and PECORI fees, she adds.
Document compliance
Lam suggests employers work with their advisers and their ERISA attorneys to prepare a binder of documents typically requested by the DOL during an audit, including the plan document.
The very first thing the auditor will want to review is the employers plan document, says Lam. Its the No. 1 thing, because it governs everything. It sets the rules for the plan.
Other documents the DOL will likely request to see include summary plan descriptions and summary material modifications.
Turley says they will likely ask to review employer notices, including COBRA notices, HIPAA notices and summary of benefits coverage, etc. The DOL will also audit for disclosure compliance, including Form 5500 reports, summary annual reports, copies of insurance company invoices, etc.
As it audits for compliance with the ACA, the DOL will also ask to review an employers enrollment notice for dependents up to age 26, lifetime limit notice, copies of choice of provider notices and a list of employees who have received notices, etc.
See related: ACA reporting requirements are around the corner: Are you ready?
The best defense is knowledge, says Turley, Know the rules and know that you are complying with the rules.
If, during a self-audit areas of concern are identified, Turley says they can then be addressed and/or corrected through DOL correction programs such as the Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program and the Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program.
These programs allow the employer to self-report areas of non-compliance and in exchange for self-reporting and correction, receive clearance from the DOL on a go forward basis for a significantly reduced penalty assessment, says Turley.

On this day after, I'm wondering if Jon is thinking maybe he should have talked to me the day before... or any of the days before.
Because this day after losing New Jersey by mere points, this simple point: Jon Corzine never got the chance to score points with the very folks who might have helped give him more points.
If only he had come on, as his opponents had come on, and taken the tough questions, as his opponents took the tough questions.
If only the governor or New Jersey had recognized Fox's viewership includes a lot of folks in New Jersey: Republican folks, independent folks, Democratic folks.
Lots of folks who could have made for lots of interesting scenarios if only Jon had reached out and talked instead of closing ranks and not.
This day after the drubbing, maybe time for a little soul-searching for Democrats who swore off Fox and are now just swearing at their staffs.
Woulda. Shoulda. Coulda.
It's hard to call these hard and fast lessons, but there's one tried and true reality: You can't pick and choose your way to office. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell said that to me Tuesday night during my election coverage.
Maybe had his Democratic colleague in New Jersey talked to me, talked to Fox, he'd have seen what Rendell himself has already seen: We don't bite or savage; we listen and engage.
Ed knew that and now I suspect Jon knows that too. Because one's a governor still in power who gets it. And the other is soon to be a former governor who never did.

Public Health Marches for Science
Public Health scientists from the School of Public Health participated in the March for Science in Washington, D. C. and at the Rhode Island State House on April 22 to advocate for publicly funded scientific research and evidence-based policies. The March for Science Rhode Island was part of a nation-wide effort to promote science-based policies that improve lives and strengthen society and to advocate for funding of science.
While in Washington, D.C. for the SGIM annual meeting last week, I had the opportunity to March for Science in the Capitol on Saturday. The weather was uncooperative, but we marched anyway.

Today, the play includes not only hundreds of actors,
but also thousands of men known as
"Nazarenes" who follow Christ on the route to Calvary (el Cerro
de la Estrella) in bare feet, with crowns of thorns, carrying
their own crosses of varying sizes. Jesus is kicked, beaten whipped
and covered in blood, with a cinematic reality. In the processional,
Judas walks through the streets and the crowd call out "traitor" as
the actor throws fake coins from a bag. The actor that plays Christ
is really bound to the cross and remains there for about twenty
minutes. After the crucifixion, the representation ends with Judas
hanging himself alongside Jesus.
In recreating the passion play, not one person is a professional,
but this doesn't matter. Each of the participants has a personal
reason to thank God, and is very proud to be able to take part.
While the event is still primarily religious, it has also become a
major tourism attraction. In 2010, it
was submitted to UNESCO to become an intangible cultural heritage.

Topic : Job description sample outlines.
According to Torrington, a job description is usually developed by conducting a job analysis, which includes examining the tasks and sequences of tasks necessary to perform the job. The analysis considers the areas of knowledge and skills needed for the job. A job usually includes several roles. According to Hall, the job description might be broadened to form a person specification or may be known as "terms of reference". The person/job specification can be presented as a stand-alone document, but in practice it is usually included within the job description. A job description is often used by employers in the recruitment process.
The specific job title is important because it differentiates one position from another. You will want to leave a space at the beginning of your job description template for the position title.


text: gbzh01 1 Report post Posted March 27, 2017 Hi everyone I stuck at a problem and I can't overcome. Maybe somebody here can help me. I am an Industrial Designer, doing a lot of sunglasses. Since about a year, I started to draw the 3D on my own and I get better and better. I think glasses are really difficult... My problem: I wanted to overcome the last thing, these are the nosepads. So far, I just took the surface an some anquerpoints, moved them out and had a kind of a nosepad. Now, I want to control them. My workflow is the following: I draw lines for an outside frame and an inside frame. Like that, I am able to have a great control about the shape. When I do the nosepads, I suddenly have a missing inside surface which I can't generate anymore. Do you have any ideas how I could get this surface? Attached is a picture where you can see the missing surface. I also attached the file if somebody wants to try out his idea. Please help me, I am lost. example.evo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"We really enjoyed this book. My dad was on a subchaser during WWII but he never talked about it a whole lot. I wish I would have read this book before he died. As it turns out, one of the men mentioned in the book is the father of a friend. I never knew his father had been on a similar vessel. It was well written and gives you a good idea of what life must have been like on a subchaser during this period of our history." – Mark E. Muglich

At the NAB Final Cut Pro Supermeet, the video editing world got an exciting peek into Apple's new professional video editor Final Cut Pro X (FCPX). Dozens of people (myself included) took the small scraps of information we could, and attempted to glean additional insight into what the application would do, and what it would mean to the professional video production industry as we knew it. We saw innovative new ideas, like the magnetic timeline, compound clips, and keyword-based asset management. The promise of a magical, modern, fast non-linear editor (NLE) generated a tsunami of excitement. Ultimately, we were left with more questions than answers until last week when Apple finally unveiled its new creation.
Like any tsunami, the arrival of FCPX left devastation in its wake. Dozens of video editors on Twitter immediately dismissed the product simply as iMovie with a darker UI, and otherwise totally unfit for professional work. They cited important features of their existing workflow that were entirely lacking in the new product. They also cited features that they thought weren't there, but in fact were, had they read the manual. The Great FCPX Whinging is still going strong on Twitter and forums, and it's entirely counter-productive.
Folks in the industry like to say "Editing is about storytelling". I also believe that to be true. What I am witnessing however, is not this. I'm seeing my Twitter stream flooded with apoplectic editors complaining about how a just-released tool doesn't meet their needs, and countless regurgitations of 'facts' that are simply untrue. If the just-released tool doesn't meet your needs, don't use it. It really is that simple. The products you were using last week are still running, and you know them well. If you're in the middle of a project, you shouldn't change tools anyway. Some worry about future support for FCP7. Yes, eventually Apple will stop supporting the product (they have already stopped selling it), but that's in the future. In the now, you have deadlines. Worry about meeting them. Smart editors will take the time to learn this new product at the ground floor, so when it is ready for their workflow, they can integrate it. When that time comes, those editors will work faster than the competition, still learning how to make new bins (hint: keywords are the new bin).
FCPX is best thought of as a totally new product. Don't think of it as Final Cut Pro Ten, think of it as Final Cut Pro X version 1.0. No one gave up their Avid rigs when the original Final Cut Pro hit the scene. Instead, they continued to use the tools that allowed them to tell their stories.
Let's have less emo whinging, and more great storytelling.

Are you a professional editor?
Yes, I still edit professionally, although it's not what I do 40+ hours a week anymore. Mostly educational videos, and videos for a well-known research company in CT.
Cool, I couldn't tell from your self-description. And is/was FCP your main tool?
As a full-time FCP editor who has talked to a lot of fellow editors about this topic, I think the basic feeling is one of Apple disrespecting the traditions and needs of pro editors. When so many features are "left on the cutting room floor" or changed drastically without consideration for a vast and complex skill-set that people use to make their living on a daily basis and the company acts like they're simply releasing a new and improved version of existing software without acknowledging the disruption this new software will create, that seems disrespectful.
I think you're right that this should be considered a Version 1.0… why didn't Apple simply give it a new name and call it MoviePro 1.0 or something? If they said, "Hey, we're discontinuing this out-of-date software and releasing a new program that will seem somewhat familiar but is not the same but better in many ways", I think editors would have been bummed and bitched a bit but accepted it far more smoothly.
From a business standpoint, Apple is trying to hold onto a valuable brand, but a brand that is now tarnished because of all of the missing features. Yes, many/most/all of these features will return eventually but in the meantime… it's just not a pro application. Lack of multicam and OMF export alone are enough for many businesses to not even consider using the new app. I know an entire network that won't "upgrade" because they have so many legacy projects that they need access to.
[Some of the new features also reveal a distinct lack of understanding of the editing profession. Automatic organization by two-shots and singles? Who would even organize that way? It seems like some engineer got excited by his facial recognition software and wanted to show off.]
Storytelling for film and television has become a sophisticated and time-sensitive operation. When a company wants to phase out a tool that is widely used in that operation, it's not just a matter of "manning-up"… you're talking thousands of lost hours of productivity while people retrain.
I'm sure that once Apple works out all of the kinks and replaces the missing features and FCPX matures a bit, I'll make the switch. I'll probably try to learn it even while it's still stumbling along. But I believe they deserve all of the complaints because they handled this more like the release of a new iPod and not like a tool that people have spent years honing their skills on.
Also, I do think that Apple is onto something with regard to their new pricing model. This, much like the original FCP, makes professional quality editing available to more people (I'm thinking mainly of students, and people thinking they want to become editors here), which will force the competition to react. Price was a HUGE factor in getting people using FCP. Prior to that, you were shelling out several tens of thousands of dollars for a low-end Avid rig. Now with FCPX being $300, and usable on a Macbook Air (of all things!), you've got a potentially (I say that as it's still half baked) killer setup.
Kevin, thanks for the thoughtful reply. I use FCP quite a bit, but I also use Media Composer a good 40% of the time. I prefer FCP, but there are some things that can more easily be done (for my workflow) in MC, and I use the tool that's best for the job. One thing I never do is swap tools, as that's just a load of wasted time that I don't have.
I think we're in agreement with a lot of what you're stating. A few things however, I think we slightly differ, or perhaps simply see in a different way:Re-training: Re-training is/should be a perpetual cycle. Before FCP, people used Avid or higher-end turnkey systems and had to be re-trained when they decided to switch to FCP. None of them did it overnight, but because FCP was a small fraction of the cost (IIRC, about 1/10th) of those systems, most post houses purchased a couple of licenses to try it out for a spin. As a professional, part of our job is to understand our craft, and use the tools that are at our disposal. In general, I don't turn down good money, and I'd have to do that if I said I couldn't edit in Avid, or couldn't edit in FCP. Just recently, I re-learned Adobe Premiere 5/5.5 because it had a DSLR/RED workflow that FCP only just now got with FCPX (and is still missing RED for the moment). Of course, you want to train on a tool that has something to offer. Today, I think FCPX has many things to offer a professional editor (magnetic timeline, compound clips, media management) that will make their lives much easier going forward once they get out of the old headspace. However, the app is half-baked, and not ready for broadcast (and other) workflows. That prevents me, you, and quite a few others from jumping ship. Of course, no one jumped ship at FCP 1.0 either. It wasn't until FCP 3 where it even *started* becoming viable (IIRC, Cold Mountain was done on a custom version of FCP3 with a lot of pre-release features of FCP4).
As far as Apple as a business, we can't know why they chose to release FCPX now, with a limited useful feature-set. If they say (and they have) we'll get RED, multicam, and XML by the end of the year, why not just give us FCPX in December? It's a totally new tool, no one *needs* to upgrade, so why not bake those features in? It still doesn't make sense to me why they did that, but the fact is they did, and now we have an opportunity to play around with it, while still doing our paying gigs in editors we know well, and work for our needs.
Sorry about the reply-date screw-up… I thought I was replying to your comment, but it seems it entered as a separate thread (corrected), and now my followup is showing up 1st. Oops.
I was also working as an Avid MC editor when FCP was taking baby steps and was able to convince my company to build a small Final Cut system around version 3. But because of all of the similarities (ahem) between Avid and Final Cut, I never felt like I was really learning a new editing system the way I might have if I'd switched to discreet edit* or something.
In some ways, I feel like FCPX is more different than FCP7 than FCP3 was from MC1000. FCP was never a reinvention of the concept of non-linear editing which Avid pioneered and in it I could still recognize the icons and methods that I'd learned while cutting film on a flatbed. I could be wrong, but my sense is that the engineers of FCPX, for better or worse, have lost the sense of connection to the basic origins of film editing. I won't know how true this is until I play with it and I also won't know how bad that possibility bodes for the app. Maybe they really have considered all of the options and made only great choices but given that they released (as you put it) a half-baked app, I'm not feeling a lot of faith in this team right now.
Hopefully Apple will prove all of the fears wrong soon as they quickly update the app. I think that for years, many people in post have wondered how much Apple cares about the FCP suite. Given the discontinued support of Final Cut Server, the lackluster integration and performance/design of Motion, the discontinuation of Soundtrack, the lack of investment in the Color UI, etc., I think it's not surprising that everyone is a little suspicious and then this comes along and it's like "I knew it!!! You never loved me!!!"
I'm all for the lower price as I've had a pirated copy of FCP or two in my day (for non-commercial home projects) and would rather have the legit copy and support. Lowering the bar for access to professional tools has another price, though… most freelancers I know who have worked since the 90's have seen their rates decrease. This goes for both camera and post and many attribute it to a glut of people who can afford to buy prosumer equipment and then call themselves a camera operator or editor. At the same time, I'd say some of the standards for what is acceptable camera work and cutting have decreased, probably to accommodate the less-experienced talent. But maybe it's just a general economic trend of companies getting stingier and audiences desiring sloppier media… who knows.
How is Premiere 5.5? Every time I hear Premiere is suddenly amazing, I try it out and it still feels like a kid's toy. Maybe I just don't like the interface but the last version I gave a shot seemed to be lacking a ton of features.
Rate decreases are also normal over time. We're always asked to do more for less. Competition is everywhere both domestically and overseas. We can differentiate ourselves through really great customer service, and ultra-high quality output. Ultimately the marketing analyst wonk may have the tools, but they don't know how to use them effectively. I'm sure you've taken jobs from clients that involve fixing their attempt to do it themselves, or otherwise on the cheap. I've found simply being available gives my clients a feeling of security.
FCP7 does/will work in Lion (10.7.x), so for the moment, I'm not too worried about everything going to hell in a hand-basket. I do however, think that the lack of DSLR workflow in FCP7 makes my life far more tedious than needed, so I really would rather use a tool that works in that regard.
That's where Premiere 5.5 comes in. I'm not going to kid and say I love the product. In fact, I think the UI is one of the most abstruse and annoying (Color-level annoying) I've seen. It does however, have an engine that is specifically tuned to the needs of a DSLR editor. For an increasing number of my projects, that's exactly what I need. I also love the round-tripping to AE (whose UI I also despise), although even that can get a little wonky. Round trip too much, and strange shit starts to happen. FWIW, I've always loathed the Avid UI as well.
They all smack of a UI specifically designed to be difficult, in order to raise the barrier of entry — a form of security through obscurity. FCP took the basic concept of an NLE and gave us a much better UI, but it wasn't really pushing the boundaries of what could be done. FCPX is much more forward thinking in that regard. Yes, it's *very* different from what we have been brought up on, but I do think that it's headed in the right direction. I also think they should re-look at some of their design choices. For example, while I can 'fake' a Viewer window (hint: change the events to List mode, and set the thumbnails to be as gigantic as it can be), it's not *quite* a true Viewer, and I still find a Viewer to be useful. While difficult to grasp at first, once you wrap your head around the idea of sub-clips and binning to be simply keyword metadata, a whole new world of easy organisation opens up. While I wouldn't actually kill to have that feature in another NLE, I'd really appreciate the competition stepping up.
In still searching for more details on FCPX (without putting down money for a product that I'm not quite convinced by), I read this review that seems "fair and balanced" to borrow a phrase from an unbalanced news network:
From what I'm reading, the lack of precise trimming in a viewer is almost enough to make me jump ship and I don't think that's going to change. So far, I see the timeline "innovations" as mostly regressive, the integration with Motion as clunky as ever (but in new, exciting ways!) and the Events-style organization a step back. I'm sure I can adapt but I don't want to learn workarounds… I want software designed for professionals that makes sense out of the box. Was something broken with binning? Maybe I missed the part where that was an awful hindrance to my creativity.
The last couple of paragraphs of that review definitely sum up the feeling I've been getting about the software… maybe Apple will step up and re-integrate pro features or but probably this is just another iPod release to them. Maybe eventually editors will need to know a different app for different kinds of projects (like Premiere for DSLR) but it's a shame that Apple had a chance to have the one editor that fits all and I think they've lost it.
I really don't think either Avid or Premiere were designed to create a barrier… you have to remember how old these apps are and the state of UI design in the early 1990s. I actually like the After Effects interface (makes way more sense to me than Motion) and I like Avid as well but part of that may be that I've used both of them off and on for almost 15 years now.
Avid created their UI to meet the needs of professional film editors and when I first used it, I found it could do almost everything I needed. It's not intuitive but compared to working on a Steenbeck it sure felt easy and flexible.
The nice thing about Avid is that they have always aimed at the pros first and their slow adoption of new technology was because they did extensive testing to make sure their systems were stable. That devotion to stability (and the high price tag that came with their proprietary hardware) may have been what killed them as FCP would run on the latest OS and fastest computers. And once they tried to compete with Apple against an Apple product that runs so well on Apple computers, the writing was on the wall.
While jumping back into Avid MC might feel like putting on an old glove for me, I may have to give Premiere a chance again simply because their Production Suite is probably the best deal going for overall quality software (and it's half-off for people switching from FCP).
I may need to start a new thread, as these columns are getting smaller and smaller. Perhaps I just change the layout so comments are the full-width. Hmm. My posts seem to have deep threads.
As for precision, you *do* have frame-accurate ins and outs without going to the precision editor. The nice thing about the PE is that it shows your 'handles' (unused frames) ghosted on either side of the cut, so you can see what you're rolling/cutting/etc into. That isn't shown on the normal timeline, but you can get at it just the same if you don't care about your handles.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who either haven't used the product, or make assumptions based on appearance. Those are the vocal ones, drowning out more level-headed folk who have tried to understand the new way of working.
As for FCP7's binning? Yeah, that did/does in fact blow goats. The new way of doing it *really is* more powerful, but you have to use it to understand. Imagine clips being able to be in multiple bins because they can be classified in different ways. They're like "smart playlists" or "smart folders" in iTunes or Mail.app. I use such smart collections extensively in every app that has them. I *LOVE* the power and flexibility it has without the problems of duplicating clips, or worse, losing them because you dumped them into the wrong bin. In fact, I'd jump for joy if Adobe and Avid adopted the concept.
As for the UI, in addition to what I've already stated on the subject, I'd say that Avid/Adobe/FCP7/Media100/Vegas/etc/etc all used a similar UI because they copied the First Mover, which in turn copied the exact hardware UI of the dual-deck system which was OK for the hardware and the time, but now we have computers that can do *so* much more. Let the computer do the heavy lifting.
I really do hope you get to give the app a spin. You really shouldn't take anyone's word for anything on this subject. Ultimately, it'll do what you need it to do, or it won't. It *will* however, be different. The question is, do you wish to invest the time in learning a new tool that may make your life easier?

Doug Lipp
Former Head of Training, Walt Disney University and Best-Selling Author
Lead the Way, Your Customers and Employees Will Follow
The Magic of Exceptional Customer Service
Even Monkeys Fall From Trees, Learn From Mistakes and Embrace Change
Beyond Stuck in the Middle Seat™ Welcome Change & Take Control
The Changing Face of Today's Customer
Build the Culture. Live the Culture. Differentiate!
Candid. Passionate. Relevant. Doug Lipp is on a crusade to help organizations strengthen their corporate culture, boost business performance, and unapologetically, have fun while doing it.
Doug is a distinguished international consultant, eight-time author, and former head of training at the legendary Disney University. His latest book is the best-selling Disney U: How Disney University Develops the World's Most Engaged, Loyal, and Customer-Centric Employees.
At age 29, Doug's celebrated talent catapulted him to the helm of the legendary Disney University training team at Walt Disney corporate headquarters. Fluent in Japanese, Doug also helped Disney open its first international theme park as a member of the Tokyo Disneyland start-up team.
Drawing on his 30 plus years of combined experience at Disney and in private practice, Doug inspires and challenges hundreds of organizations worldwide. In presentations, he shares how Disney overcame spectacular strategic challenges to unleash one of the most improbable success stories in corporate history.
Through riveting examples and powerful, relevant stories about innovation, service, value and leadership, Doug pulls back the curtain and reveals the behaviors, tools and attitudes that are representative of cultural excellence at Disney and other great institutions. He also discusses common organizational traps that undermine companies and impede their ability to build a thriving and sustainable culture.
Consistently ranked as one of the best presenters every time he speaks, Doug painstakingly researches and customizes each of his presentations. He underscores how a company's current culture is affecting its business, and then provides insights and actionable ideas on how they can build an even better business based on leadership, teamwork and innovation. After his presentation, which includes experiential exercises and participant-centered activities, you will have a blueprint for creating and perpetuating a culture of significance unique to your organization.
What is the magic of Disney? How can you duplicate it? Doug's leadership experience at the Walt Disney University provides fascinating stories, unique insights, and invaluable lessons. Learn how legendary service is a delicate balance that attends to both the art and science needs of your employees and customers. "Doing the ordinary in an extraordinary fashion" isn't rocket science – customer service excellence should be ingrained in the culture of every company. In this ever-changing economy, more companies than ever before are realizing the strategic importance of transforming their service into a market differentiator.
The Magic of Exceptional Customer Service
Doug's Walt Disney University training experience provides fascinating stories, unique insights, and invaluable lessons. Learn how certain skills, attitudes and behavior contribute to exceptional performance to build, win, and keep market share. Service and attitude affect your bottom line. Doug's active listening strategy, R.A.P.S. introduces techniques for improved communication, building internal and external relationships, and handling unpleasant confrontations. His well-known "Life as Tigger" story animates how employees can positively address intra-departmental strife. Doug shares Disney's "SCSE" comprehensive service philosophy to illustrate how Disney achieves and maintains service excellence and loyalty. Other popular topics include Disney's show business service language and concepts, including why the terms "on-stage and off-stage behavior", "cast member", and "costumes" encourage employees to put on their best "show" for the "guest".
Even Monkeys Fall From Trees, Learn From Mistakes and Embrace Change
Even the best and the brightest make mistakes. However, the ability to deal with setbacks, then bounce back even stronger is the hallmark of consistent market leaders. Join Doug as he takes you on a "behind the scenes" tour of the Walt Disney Company to learn about both its successes and how it overcame spectacular obstacles by challenging the status quo and embracing change. Successful organizations embrace the attitude of "change or perish" and are willing to reinvent themselves. How do the best organizations overcome growth traps which include turf wars, hierarchical barriers and creative stagnation? Doug provides examples of how world-class leaders have eliminated these barriers to improvement and enthusiastically embraced change. The world is changing, are you?
Beyond Stuck in the Middle Seat™ Welcome Change & Take Control
What's the worst place in an airplane? The middle seat! Why? You're literally stuck in a rotten place, possibly for a long time, and you can't do anything about it. Or can you? During this presentation, Doug uses the middle seat as a metaphor for what happens to all of us in life. How do you deal with unfortunate situations? When in a situation that you "can't control," what options do you actually have? This entertaining and thought-provoking presentation addresses such topics as: Creative Problem Solving, Work-Life Balance, Stress Management, and Career Development. Join Doug for some fun as he addresses everything from life-on-the-road horror stories to dealing with organizational change.
The Changing Face of Today's Customer
The globe is shrinking….is your business expanding? All companies that expand globally or provide products to culturally diverse customers run into problems. Learn what companies such as IBM, Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, Intel and Disney have discovered (often the hard way) and how you can benefit from those lessons. Doug gives real-life examples that support the concept of think globally, but act locally. This presentation is a "must" for groups that serve a culturally diverse customer base, either domestically or internationally.

The bug in Gears of War 2 that was causing some players to experience long waits in multiplayer matchmaking has been fixed with an update.
Epic has announced a patch for the 360 favourite that should completely cut out the problem from the game.
It is thought that the skill-based public matchmaking system was simply struggling to cope with the demand, and in particular for one-player and four-player parties.
The news of the patch was posted on the official Gears of War 2 forum by senior producer Rod Fergusson, who detailed all the steps Epic had taken to speed things up.
The biggest factor in this it seems is reducing the number of matchmaking servers to increase the number of possible matches. Apparently the effect of some adjustments will be felt immediately, but Fergusson has warned players that some may take a few days to "play out".
Other bug fixes in the update include one to stop the loss of some stats data on the Gears of War website, and a solution to the problem that caused some players to be unable to start the game's campaign if Xbox Live was unavailable.
The update is available now.

Letter to the Editor: Please Don't Skip Your Annual Exam
As a practicing gynecologist in the Louisville area, I would like to respond to the September 2nd Courier-Journal opinion article questioning the value of women's annual gynecologic exam. While it is true that various health-related organizations disagree as to the value of certain screening tests, the majority of us who focus our medical practice on wellness for women can attest to a huge value gained with the annual gynecologic exam. I remember well being nervous about my own first gynecologic exam as a teenager. My mother's OB/GYN, Dr. Cecil Grumbles, gently reassured me. He let me know that he could help my horrendous cramps that were causing me to miss school once a month. I had just assumed that bad cramps were to be part of my life, but he not only made my life better (and my grades), my experience inspired me to consider the field in which I am now privileged to practice.Read More - Letter to the Editor: Please Don't Skip Your Annual Exam

Listings received points according to placement, which were then tallied to come up with the 2013 list of Top Docs.
In Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Brown, Dr. Terry and Dr. Warren were three of the ten OB/GYN physicians selected as this year's "Top Docs."

How often have you wanted to simply cut your hair short but were worried whether it would suit you? Well, most girls have faced this dilemma. Also, it doesn't help when people tell you that short hair will make your shoulders look broader or going short will make you appear fatter. Girls treat the decision of cutting their hair short to be a very important one. But as Coco Chanel said once, "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life. "
Here is why shouldn't think twice before chopping off those long tresses.
Easy to style
When you have long hair, it takes a long time to style it. With short hair, you can simply curl or straighten it within minutes.
Fewer tangles
How often do you wake up to see your hair in knots? Cut your hair short and you won't have to face that problem anymore.
Leave your hair open
No need to tie your hair up in a ponytail or a bun. Short hair can be worn naturally and looks the best that way.
You'll feel more confident
While this is debatable, most girls claim to feel better about their looks and body once they cut their hair short.
Save money
Since you have short hair, you will need to use very little shampoo and conditioner. You also won't have to spend money on serums and other styling products.
Convinced enough? Now go ahead and book an appointment with your hair stylist.
